Good Morning!!

Happy Birthday Dave!!!


Today is the Day!! Finally... have a long morning ahead of us.

Ok Dress is now in our possession, lol, wish i would have saved my 30 bucks for alterations...I just did about a 5" hidden seam, lol forgot what thats called in sewing! Anyway it took me all of 5 minutes, Dress needed a 2" and shorten straps, probably another 10 mins...We paid 30 for an hour of alterations, shaking head here. Well live & learn eh.

So Tuesday was the fitting...Dress has an open back, So we decided Sabrina should have a jacket of some sort. Said we could look at Penny & Sears OR go to Joanns and I'ld make her something...Me and my Big Mouth!! ROFLOL, well I felt as thought I was on project Runway. But as of 10:00 P.M. Last night, Our jacket! This Morning did the hide-a-seam and added buttons...This jacket is not for closure, but purely to keep her warm...You'll see later, it really is just to add a splash of color too. Her dress is all black.

I got to say i am really happy with the way it came out. I haven't sewn with a pattern in years!! No time to make my own.
And I've never done a lining, hahaha...Never again either!

So, here is the start Tues, night!
